Funny, it's only now that people have said it that I can hear a different tone to Butch's voice. I never thought he sounded gay. Then again, when I first heard his voice I was too young and naive to suspect anything of the sort.

Cool episode. I thought it was really neat to see Delia in a battle for the first time, and Oak battling again for only the second time in the series...and of course to see Tracey and Scyther join in too.

Muk looked weird though, it looked really different from when we saw Ash's Muk before.

I saw the episode today and I guess this one was alright. Delia calling Butch Bill was pretty funny. But at the end where the nararator talks about Professor Oak reading a love poem and Delia thinks it's adressed towards her, is that in the japanese version too?

When is this episode gonna come to the US???? I would LOVE to to see this episode get aired on TV. I've seen the episode pictures and one of them is SO adorable. It's a picture of Cass and Butch holding hands and looking really happy instead of lookin evil. That picture of them looking happy really touched me. I always knew that Butch loves Cassidy. And Cassidy loves Butch. Shell! I can tell that in that picture they don't mind being that close to each other. *sniffs*

I just saw this episode a couple of hours ago and I am so very glad I saw it. This episode had some very funny moments. It's going to take me a while to get used to Cassidy's voice (but I'm sure I will). The Magikarp Salesman on the other hand...well, it was just BLAH! And finally, and most importantly, I got to see my favorite, and very sexy character, Tracey. He was just great (as he always is ^_^)

Just watched the episodes for my site. No idea when I'll get the comparison up, though.

Probably because Nidoking was pretty much trying to rape Yamato. Seriously, it's one of the most disturbing scenes ever animated for the franchise, and I'm not surprised at all that 4Kids decided to cut it out.

More disturbing than James with boobs or Brock licking/humping Sudowoodo?

Now I really need to see this. Someone needs to make an animated gif of that scene for those of us who are stuck watching the dub.

-So good to see Bayleef again. Although now it kinda seems like it has a crush on Tracey.
-Phanpy was gone, which was a major screw-up. It wasn't even seen in the transitions with the rest of the Oak'd Pokemon.
-They butchered Cassidy, Nidoking, and the Salesman's voices.
-Houn-Door?? Ugh as if Man-teen and Smea-Gel wasn't bad enough.
-Bulbasaur got the spotlight, which was fine since it has been on Ash's team longer than the others.
-Why did Oak say that Bulbasaur was his old companion? It's Ash's Pokemon.
-It was great to see Noctowl do something and Cyndaquil and Totodile were pretty funny.

Anyways I liked this episode, despite all the mistakes so I'll give it a 8/10

I love you Biff! xD

The only major complaint I have is that they ruined the Magikarp salesman's voice. I loved that guy. The stereotypical Mexican voice just made the character, and now, he's just an un-lovable old man. T_T

*ahem* Other than that, it was a little hard for me to adjust to Butch and Cassidy's voices. Cassidy was totally different. She sounded sweet, and that is NOT her. Butch has become a flaming, lisping homosexual (but a TOUGH one, mind you xD). But...you know, by the end of the episode, I kind of liked the voices. They grew on me. I actually think I like Butch even MORE than I did before I saw this episode. I thought B&C were pretty funny. Mostly Butch...he had some good lines.

Cassidy: I thought you were tough.
Butch: I am. But I like dry socks.

Butch: It's following us. (the LOUDEST WHISPER EVER) I think it likes you.

Butch: Helicopter! Helicopter! Helicopter!

Plus, I liked the way he freaked when Tracey and Delia got his name wrong, and the constant theme of Butch's toughness throughout the episode.

Other than that though...Oak, Tracey, and Delia couldn't have come off as more ( I think Cassidy says it best) lame-o. They didn't really do anything besides battle Butch and Cassidy, and they really had NOTHING worthwhile to say. This episode was made for Butch and Cassidy fans. That's it.

As a Tracey fangirl I'm disappointed, but as a Butch and Cassidy fan I'm thrilled.

-So good to see Bayleef again. Although now it kinda seems like it has a crush on Tracey.

Ooh, Bayleef, stay away from my man!

Ha! I know I saw this back in March (in English and in Japanese) and I haven't seen it since then, so I'm going to comment some more (of whatever I missed out on saying last time).

-Butch's name (we are so going to hear so many mistakes on his name but for the time being, it is funny as hell).
-Salesman vs Tracey (HA! Trying to rip off Tracey. I should hunt him down and kill him myself...only kidding)
-Eldershipping (well, I have nothing against it)

That's pretty much it! Most of the time, I was screaming at the television like...

I think the name mess-up could have been done better, but since Butch's original name was a Japanese pun, I can't complain. What are you going to use?

Anyways, I agree that the Magikarp Salesman's voice wasn't right, but I can ignore it(bet that was his twin brother in Kanto!). What an idiot he was trying to rip off an honest trainer. I'm guessing he's the guy who, in the Red/Blue games, sells you the Magikarp in Mt. Moon's center.

Anyways, great episode, and I liked seeing Bayleef, Cyndaquil, and Noctowl again, since Ash never used them in the Hoenn League. Fresh start my...
